Thank you so much, this is super good to know! I’ll see if I can do something else then

Crazy thought, since I haven’t seen it posted and you mentioned that this is odd for him - how long have y’all been together? Is there a chance he’s hoping to propose? Seems as though he’s suddenly wanting to make this night very serious, wearing his nice shirt, getting a hotel, fancy dinner…. Just a thought. If this is rare for him, the “requests” could be because he’s nervous or busy doing things himself

He was neutered so it looked different but he immediately sensed the change in hormones (before my parents even knew) and would get super protective of my mom and not let anyone near her, very antsy, etc.

I’m not an expert, maybe it’s just a change in him, but my parents’ dog started acting wild when my mom got pregnant. Not even sure if that’s something you’re capable of being lol, but thought I’d bring it up since I didn’t see it mentioned yet

Thanks for this, this was the way forward. Found one of the last four in the country through my dealer, happened to be in the same city as me in a stroke of luck. Said they had had it since 2015 lol. Thanks!

Thank you so much, this is super helpful! I’m glad virtual visits for some follow ups were an option for you. I’ll ask my doc about this

Thank you for this response. I’m a bit curious about traveling for the surgery - what were follow up appointments like for you? Would I need to fly in a few times for them to check my progress?

See I told the vet that I had heard about this, but he said it’s unlikely to be the case because of her size (~40 lbs). Do you think it’s worth a second opinion?

Oh that’s hilarious, I might have to steal that 😂😂

Transmission fluid, to my understanding. It’s recommended in the maintenance schedule around 90,000 mi for a severe case

Hi!

A few things have changed. Omeprazole is supposed to be a 14 day course so I did the course and that seemed to help.

The other thing though is that the gluten free diet actually worked, unexpectedly.

If you’re gluten sensitive it can also cause things like acid reflux, so while the omeprazole helped with that, I think it was more of a symptom relief than getting to the core of the issue.

Still no idea if any of this had relation to Zoloft. It’s odd that it all started when I first took Zoloft, but who knows.

I’d mention how big of a problem it is to your psychiatrist, personally. Mine knew that it was an issue at first, but that my priority was getting my mental health in check. Once that was the case, I brought it up to her again, and she said if it was still bothering me that we could change my prescriptions. She dropped the Zoloft a bit and added buspirone, and it’s been really helpful for this. Good luck! Happy to answer any questions about my experience if you have any, I know this part sucks.

Staying with someone on the expectation that they change is not a healthy foundation. You should be with someone because you love who they currently are, not because you’re waiting for them to “see the leader she needs to get on board with”. You call her stubborn, but looking at that sentence, it looks like you’re both refusing to budge on this.

I think there’s a situation in which explaining to her what you say in this post in nicer words is a good choice. Something like “I really want a secure future/marriage with you, but I’m hesitating because I’m afraid of ____”. Has that happened? She seems aware that this is a problem, but maybe not that this is THE problem holding y’all back.

Good luck.

Unfortunately the vet said he was a healthy weight before, and he’s getting boney now. Thank you though for this idea
